CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued.
Description:
CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued.
Reason:
CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued due to end of life of Samsung KS0713 controller chip.
Impact:
//SHL (C8 C0) (Flips display top to bottom, assuming landscape orientation)
This will need to be changed to 0xC8 from 0xC0 for the new Novatek NT7534 controller versus the Samsung KS0713.
There is no migration path for users of the CFAX12864A and CFAX12864C modules other than to re-lay out their board to use the CFAX12864T or CFAX12864U, which is not pin compatible.
Recommendation:
Users of CFAX12864AP1 and CFAX12864CP1 LCD modules can use the compatible CFAX12864T1 and CFAX12864U1 replacement modules respectively.

The pixels are small enough that a rudimentary "gray scale" may be achieved through dithering.
The display can be used in "portrait" mode.

Quick Product Info
This part is not recommended for new designs.
This module is engineered for high volume production. It uses a "TAB" (tape automated bonding) or "COF" (chip on flex) style flex tail. The TAB connector is soldered directly to corresponding pads on your PCB using a hot-bar soldering machine. High volume contract manufacturers will be familiar with this type of construction and its assembly methods. Hot-bar soldering machines designed for prototype, rework or repair of TAB connections are available from equipment suppliers at reasonable cost.
The TAB style connection requires no separate connector, so the cost is very low, and the ultra thin profile of the display is maintained.
